This started with leftover Sunpride bananas that my youngest doesn't like at all. Tried several times, still no luck... haha. So, as they started to get mushy, I began searching for a simple recipe. Today, I was feeling a bit down about baking.
I was intrigued by the blog title from Ms. Endang JTT, '5-Ingredient Banana Cake that's very very very yummy'—tempting! Haha.
I executed it right away, super quick prep with just 5 ingredients, a short mix, and it was already baking. My nanny even asked, 'Oh, it's done already? When did you make it?' Haha.
The result was delicious, soft, and rich. I think the sugar might need a little more.
Here's the recipe:)

Ingredients

40 minutes
5 servings
  1. 120 gramsripe bananas
  2. 2eggs
  3. 60 gramsgranulated sugar
  4. 100 gramscake flour
  5. 60 gramsbutter
  6. Optional ingredients to add if desired:
  7. Cinnamon powder, banana or vanilla essence
  8. I added chocolate chips as a topping to use up the last of my stock

Cooking Instructions

40 minutes
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
    Prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper. :)

  2. 2

    Melt the butter until just melted, not boiling, to prevent the cake from drying out. ^^

  3. 3

    Mash the bananas with a fork; do not blend them to maintain texture.

  4. 4

    Beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.

  5. 5

    Add the bananas and mix with a spatula, then gradually add the flour, mixing with a spatula again.

  6. 6

    Finally, add the melted butter and fold in with a spatula.
    Pour into the loaf pan.
    I sprinkled chocolate chips on top.

  7. 7

    Bake for about 25-30 minutes, adjusting for your oven. ;)
    When it starts to form a crust, I make a slit in the middle with a knife, then brush honey on the crust to make it brown and sweet. :)

  8. 8

    Yummy and healthy without any chemicals.

  9. 9

    Hmmmm

  10. 10

    Hmm.. I had two issues this time:
    1) The bananas were too soft because I was chatting with my nanny. Next time, I'll leave some chunks. Haha.
    2) When making the slit in the crust, I did it too close to the end. It's better to do it earlier when the crust is forming but the inside is still wet, so the batter can rise a bit (since this cake doesn't use baking powder/soda, which helps the batter rise).
    Next time will be better. Haha.

  11. 11

    Ta-da! This is a basic banana cake recipe, without any chemicals. :)
